[Sensillae and protonephridia of cercaria of Centrocestus formosanus and Centrocestus sp. (Centrocestinae, Heterophyidae)].

Annales de parasitologie humaine et comparee, 1983
A description is given of cercarial chaetotaxy of two Centrocestinae (Heterophyidae, Opisthorchioidea) from Malaysia: Centrocestus formosanus and Centrocestus sp.--Comparison with cercarial chaetotaxy of taxonomically related groups indicates that 1. The chaetotaxy of the Centrocestinae agrees with that of other Opisthorchioidea, 2.

Metacercarial Distribution of Centrocestus formosanus among Fish Hosts in the Guadalupe River Drainage of Texas

Journal of Aquatic Animal Health, 2011
Abstract We examined the gills of wild fish collected from central Texas for Centrocestus formosanus metacercariae to determine whether this temperature-restricted parasite had invaded the thermally dynamic Guadalupe River via an introduced population in its thermally stable tributary, the Comal River.

Pattern of Emergence and the Effects of Temperature and Light on the Emergence and Survival of Heterophyid Cercariae (Centrocestus formosanus and Haplorchis pumilio)

Journal of Parasitology, 1996
Production of the cercariae of Centrocestus formosanus and Haplorchis pumilio was not affected by a 10-day starvation of the snail host Melanoides tuberculata, and there was no circadian rhythm in the pattern of cercarial emergence. Daily average cercarial productions from each snail were 1,643 for C. formosanus and 689 for H.

Experimental centrocestiasis: Worm burden, morphology and fecundity of Centrocestus formosanus (Trematoda: Heterophyidae) in dexamethasone immunosuppressed mice

Parasitology International, 2015
Centrocestus formosanus is an intestinal foodborne trematode with medical and veterinary importance that remains with the pathological and immunological aspects of the infection in definitive host poorly studied. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of pharmacological immunosuppression by glucocorticoids in experimental centrocestiasis.

Experimental Exposure of Adult San Marcos Salamanders and Larval Leopard Frogs to the Cercariae ofCentrocestus formosanus

Journal of Parasitology, 2014
The gill parasite Centrocestus formosanus (Trematoda: Heterophyidae) is an exotic parasite of concern in Texas because it has been shown to infect multiple threatened and endangered fish species. The purpose of this study was to determine if C. formosanus could present a threat to larval anurans, as well as threatened neotenic salamanders endemic to ...

Experimental Infection of an Exotic Heterophyid Trematode,Centrocestus formosanus, in Four Aquaculture Fishes

North American Journal of Aquaculture, 2002
Abstract Centrocestus formosanus, an exotic digenetic trematode that was recently found infecting wild fish in Texas, was evaluated to determine whether it could infect four propagated warmwater fish species. Channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus, sunshine bass (the hybrid of female white bass Morone chrysops and male striped bass Morone saxatilis ...

Prevalence and molecular characterization of Centrocestus formosanus in wild tilapia from the Western Nile Delta of Egypt

Parasitology International
Centrocestus formosanus is a small, fish-borne zoonotic trematode belonging to the family Heterophyidae. It causes financial losses in the aquaculture industry. In this research, we aimed to study the prevalence of metacercariae among wild tilapia fish, histopathology, and molecular characterization of Centrocestus formosanus using ITS-2 gene PCR.

Distribution of metacercariae of Centrocestus formosanus (Trematoda: Heterophyidae) on the gills of Aplocheilus panchax

Journal of Fish Biology, 1986
The metacercariae of Centrocestus formosanus (Nishigori 1924) occur on the gills of freshwater fishes in association with blood vessels. The microecology of the metacercariae on the gills of the cyprinid fish Aplocheilus panchax (Ham. & Buch.) was investigated. The cysts showed a preference for anterior gills and for the dorsal section of each gill.
